The machine of Masonry has many facets to making it work properly and getting the words right is just a portion of our duties as Mason along with charity and others. The duty of a speculative Mason is laid out in the FC lecture (the long version anyway) and the only thing we perfom externally is charity work, the rest is done internally and has nothing to do with anybody but yourself. Subdue the passion, act upon the square, keep a tongue of good report, maintain secrecy and practice charity. 4 out of the 5 parts of speculative Masonry are internal and to me if learned properly charity is a natural by-product of the first 4. So if we plan to act upon the square, keep a tongue of good report or subdue passions with a Maosnic temperment we must learn the lesson for ourselves in the memory work; and to properly maintain secrecy should you not know what your keeping secrect. In my opinion this is Masonry's problem in a nut-shell, if we all looked internally and DID what we felt was right for Masonry things would change but we spend to much time on the external and point fingers as if our solution is the ONE. If you feel charity is important recruit members of your Lodge and friends and start something charitable I promise it will be hard work and long hours you feel you do not have but blessing will abound you and time will stand still. If you feel ritual work is important go get your A cert and perform the rituals with heart so wehn you run into another ritualist being born he will be encourage by your efforts. Most important of all is to not get sucked into negative conversations or tricked into thinking someone is drestroying Masonry with there lack of intrest in your solutions or ideas. YOU are responsible for Masonry and the way it is headed so step up or shut up.
